Walk in the Park 2 : Circada, Hudson grazing, Squirrel munching

walking with Hudson thru the Park ...

quite a surprise to find a circada in October!
Haven't heard their songs in awhile ...

Fox news reported the
'gang of squirrels attack'
from Pravda accounts -

quotes :
A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek
other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.

Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident
this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats ....

A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there
had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year.
